Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 (Kissin)
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 06. 2015
- A vivacious and exuberant performance featuring some some superhuman feats of pianism. The second half in particular is real fun to listen to - starting from the stretta vivace at 7:26 things get fairly crazy.
There’s nothing profound happening in the Hungarian Rhapsodies, but they showcase Liszt’s amazing ability to write exciting stuff for the piano - they’re ridiculous amounts of fun, very colourful, occasionally witty, and are always written with an addictive sense of propulsion. The Hungarian Rhapsody No.12 features (like its more popular C# minor twin, the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2) a particularly diverse huge array of pianistic textures. Sometimes music is just fun. - Hudba
9:09 one of the best finales in the hungarian rhapsodies
he plays it faster and cleaner than anyone. superb. Anyone learning this can pick up a lot from this.
Kissin’s Hungarian rhapsodies are some of the best interpretations you’ll find out there
if this piece can’t convince someone there is good in the world, then nothing can
9:10 The right hand for jump scare, left hand for octave smashing.... God damnit. It breaks enough my heart :0
My new favourite Hungarian Rhapsody!
my since 2007
@@Tizohip nice, I wish I heard this piece earlier, like when you did.
Oh hi! Mine too!
For me it’s my third fav my opinion is 10 and 2 is better lol
Me 2😭
Doesn't Franz Liszt realize that we only have two hands and two arms?
Nah, he wants us to suffer
He'd like us to overcome that handicap through skill.
maybe he should have said can use foots
He's great at composing not so much with biology
Giant hands
KIssin you are always the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 Thanks Maestro
4:36 best version of the initial main theme
yeah Kissin plays this way better than anyone.
This is my favorite Liszt HR. Period. Kissin is my favorite pianist, so the man can do no wrong. Thank you for posting. ❤
"Sometimes music is just fun". That's a perfect description of the Hungarian Rhapsodies. They're fun, flashy, show-offy pieces without a lot of subtlety (except maybe for 13, 14 and 19) that are fun to listen to and--if you've got the chops for them--fun to play.
5?
I agree with fun, but without subtlety? The way Liszt records the characteristic ornaments and harmonic inflections of Hungarian Gypsy performers of the mid-19th century is almost Bartók-like in its thoroughness. He meant to document an idiosynchratic urban/folk ensemble performance tradition - on solo piano. Nothing of the sort had been done up that point - or I should say nothing that I am aware of. But beyond the ornaments, the harmonic language in some of the Rhapsodies (even the early ones) present revolutionary inventions, just look at the last page of No. 3. If you listen and study them carefully, you will find that basically all the Rhapsodies offer some truly ingenious gems of harmony, texture, timbre - yes, they are fun, but they have a lot of merit beyond being fun. The late Rhapsodies (16-19) represent a completely different world - those don't really belong with the early set, their musical language is very bold, and (with the exception of No. 19) pianistically restrained.
Agree with the comment above. It's dismissive to think of this music as just showing Liszt's ability to write virtuoso piano pieces.
shay loya's book on liszt and lynn hooker's book on hungarian music are must-reads for anyone who wants to have more than superficial grasp of what liszt was trying to do here.
I totally agree. I feel like that mentality also diminishes their political significance. These were also powerful statements against Austria’s occupation of Hungary. One of the best examples of this is No. 15. The Racokczi March was something akin to the Marseillaise in 19th Century Hungary, and Liszt nearly got in trouble with Austrian authorities numerous times for playing it in Hungary.
"Without subtlety"
Madness.......
What an excellent performance! Thank you so much!
Браво блестяще сыграл виртуозно и проникновенно
The adagio bar at the end is soo good and addicting
I love your video descriptions so much.
6:11 sooooo beautiful
6:30 - Fun!
@kappelmeister123 I never noticed this until now! Thanks!
@kappelmeister123 at 3:16 also number 6!
fun fact: the melody starting at 5:55 is the main melody of a famous hungarian cartoon, called Ludas Matyi, excerpts of several other hungarian rhapsodies where also used in that film, for example the beginning of the 9th HR is the leitmotif for the villain
ALL of Liszt's hungarian rhapsodies go back to actual Hungarian Folkmelodies.
You will hear some of the same ones in Brahms' Hungarian Dances.
it sounds like a christmas music for some reasons
It's also used in Brahms' 15th HD.
@@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabjiyes I was hoping someone else would notice that!!
Una maravilla. Gracias
My favorite hungarian rhapsody, with the 9th one close!
The most beautiful melody ever. Full stop.
The beginning of Un poco piu lento - in tempo ad libitum sounds absolutely like first tacts of no. 4 Rhapsody, looks like Liszt used one and the same folklore rhythm in more rhapsodies haha :D But that can be seen in other rhapsodies as well !
Nobody's talking about the right hand at 8:28?
what's going on?
Yeah.. pretty hard to get it perfect
Just practice slow
I would’ve guessed that 8:18 is harder
@@yuezhidou8625 trill melody, meaning that you have to play trills and main melody at the same time with just the right hand

This is one of my favorite rhapsodies. Other one is no.5
Classical music is the greatest think ever gave to humanity.
From humanity
"Think"
I would have agreed until recently, but recently I've got into the complexity of a lot of stride and jazz and realised it's a tough contest. Of course, its geniuses like Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson loved Liszt!
3:35 sempre piano quasti *campanelle* ... yeah i have never seen that word

1:10 Reminds me of HR1.
Yup.That's kind a like🤣
7:10-7:26
3:52 wow....
Imagine you have two hands.
Now imagine that you have no hands because you tried to play this.
Liszt doesn't care.
Keks were heard. Based
sup fam
not rlly all that hard to learn
@@alanlajmiri5585 not really that hard to learn but hard to master
So since these are said to come from Hungarian Gypsy music, does anyone know what original songs or pieces these are based on ? I figured it was similar to the Opera pieces he wrote for where he would take a few themes and weave them throughout the piece. I’ve done research on the Rhapsodies and I can’t find anything on what they originated from
3:32 Woah!
Fun

Hi Ashish, do you know of Vladimir Bakks rhapsody no.6? His performance seriously needs more atention. Check it out! I hope you would include it on your channel!
4:42 Dang it! *Windows shutdown sound*
8:59
Rondo fantastique pls
Honestly this piece feels a little different from the other ones like it’s very original.
Very good performance! But when it comes to the rhapsodies, no one is like Cziffra :)
A very poor statement. Your opinion.
I'm a Cziffra admirer and he truely owned Hungarian Rhapsody No 6 but not this piece, with all due respect I have to say when it comes to No 12, I've never yet listened to anyone playing it better than Kissin
Holy spirit 😮😮 😬😬
Reminder that this was intended to be played on 3 pianos 🥶
No

is this the best technique in the universe?
Yes. It is.
I think Murray Perahia plays this piece the best!

did anyone noticed that the 6:17 melody was from one of brahms hungarian dance ?
There are a number of overlaps between Liszt's and Brahms' arrangements of contemporary Hungarian dance tunes. The brilliant little melody at 6:17 was composed by Liszt's friend Béni Egressy, it is called "Hej, haj magyar ember..." Brahms based his Hungarian Dance No. 15 on this song.
Yes. Liszt must have pinched it twenty years before brahms wrote Hungarian dances...
Liszt is just the devil toying *us* and *with us*

I'm not too convinced. There isn't much forward motion.
9:18 genuinely sounds like a contemporary pop song or out of a broadway musical
what a horrible insult !!! Shame on you...
You're absolutely right, that gets said a lot for these rhapsodies, particularly 4 (I think). I think it's the folk influence. Some of the other ones have moments like that as well.

5:55 Brahms 15th Hungarian Dance
No no, he did understand biology very well,.in physiology and how the hand cam ne used toaximum effect......as a pianist, it is my observation that his piano co figuration fall under the fingers very nearly, ergonocally u could say. Bach was a superior composer but he cared soucj about getting the counterpoint spot on that much of his fugues for keyboard DO NOT fall under the fingers readily and, to beated perfectly, often command more skill than much of Liszts writing. There, I've said it!
"Superior composer"
I think this piece is less virtuosic than the No.2, but produce same bravura effect
finish is hard but mosy of it is quite straight forward.
This is more difficult than No. 2
upload no. 2
Don't celebrate that! You didn't accomplish that! You didn't build that!
*me listening to magyar Liszt instead of White Taylor Swift.*
Terrible performance
why
@@WEEBLLOM because played absolutely soullessly, incomprehensible, he just plays notes, or he has at least something to do with what he performs. Or he wants to say that Liszt is only a set of different piano exercises. Like, hey guys, this is complete bullshit, nothing but quick passages
It’s a good performance, but indeed not a good interpretation at all. But that’s typical of Kissin, he‘s not very creative with his playing apart from staying perfectly faithful to the score
@@user-fu7zf4ck9z It's depends what we call good performance. For playing as you say only "perfectly faithful to the score" it's not more than student's performing. Don't you agree?
@@dzatiashvili I think Kissin‘s performance is good. He plays all the right notes with accurate tempo choices and correct dynamics. The problem with his performance is that it’s not finished, the individuality is missing. His interpretation is technically not finished, since this might be as well played by a MIDI computer. The total lack of rubato and to a certain extent ornamentations/improvisations is upsetting, sure, but that doesn’t make his playing a failure. His performance is a bit *too* perfect I‘d say
